When my OS/2 system 'died', it was the HD controller that bought it. That was
the night I went to Linux.. I still remember that pain, darn it... after a
while I realized how similar OS/2 and Linux were at least on some levels
<grin>.
I'd been reading about bbbs, had a few how-to's I'd collected for it...so that
night when that controller died, I used Ron's system to grab an archive of
BBBS/Li, and at least got the BBS running. I used BinkD with BBBS until I
could figure out the mailer :) Yeah, that night my system died and I switched
to Linux/bbbs was an 'all-nighter' :)
